To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

“I want to say yes, but I don't want to be with a boy whose heart belongs to somebody else. Just once, I want to be somebody else's first choice”

Sixteen year olde daydreamer Lara JEan has written love letters to all the boys she has ever had crushes on- These are not typical love letters but are more like good bye letters that help Lara Jean have some closure over the boys that broke her heart. When the letters are mailed without her knowledge, she is beyong upset. As her crushes begin to receive the secret letters, Lara Jean must provide and explanation to the boys, and romantic comedy soon begings to unfold..

This was a light, cute read that left me with a smile. It wasn't a book full of twists and surprises and the plot was fairly simple, but I really enjoyed it. It would be a perfect book for a summer read.

It was the first book by Jenny Han I read and I am definitely going to try her other books. 
Lara Jean was so relatable and the love interest IS ADORABLE! The characters have their flaws, but these flaws made them even better. 

The development between Lara Jean and Peter was really sweet. First pretending to date due to circumstances, it slowly turned into friendship until the feelings Lara Jean thought she'd gotten over returned. It definitely wasn't insta-love. There was a small triangle with neighbor Josh and at first, it was hard to choose but Peter won me over in the end. They match each other so well. They’re like opposites, but they balance each other so well. Kavinsky gets Lara Jean out of her safe bubble and really challenges her to live for herself. And Lara Jean keeps Kavinsky grounded and doesn’t take his bullshit. It’s such a give and take relationship, and it’s so wonderful to see. I just wanted more!

I also loved the contrast between the three sisters. Margot was the overly responsible one who acted like an adult most of the time, though she could have her own childish moments. Lara Jean was more immature for her age while Kitty was a mix of the two, she could be a brat at times and others she was very responsible. I also appreciated that their father, a very busy man, was still present in their lives and made an effort to make sure their mother's Korean heritage wasn't forgotten. I loved the relationship between the three sisters so much and found it really sweet and believable.

This is about a 3.7. I read this in one day. I honestly didn't want to put it down and I barely did. The way it ended was not how I thought it would when I started (the ending left me craving for more!), which is always cool. Sometimes with contemporaries I find the mundanity of daily activities in the stories boring, but that didn't happen here. Which was really, really nice.

This book is addictive right from the start, with Lara Jean easily carrying the story through to the end.
